    Hi Loretta, I just can't remember Lenore. I'll be sleeping later and all of a sudden it'll come to me, then I won't be able to get back to sleep. Aren't the late middle-age years wonderful?

    I REMEMBER FRAN AND JUAN THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS WITH LIBBY SCLAFANI FROM 18TH STREET AND I BELIEVE GENE AND LIZ RIVERA.

    You're right Terry. I think that Genie died too.

    Tim - Lenore had black hair, does that help?

    Lynjoy - the house does look the same. I remember that at one time there were like 60 kids living in all of those apartments between 19 & 20 street - there was always someone around to play with!

    I haven't seen her in quite a few years. I know that she has one grown daughter & still lives in Brooklyn.I know that she was married to Joe(?) Romano, but they've been divorced for years.

    Fran & Juan are close friends of my family & I see Fran often. Their Mom just got out of the hospital recently-heart problems.

    Tim - I think that your brother Bill sees Fran & Juan from time to time.
  • timfox
    timfox
    Yes He does, he and Juan still pal around together. I saw fran and Juan last year at the hospital visiting billy

    I remember that in the summer you went out in the morning, had a little lunch & went back out until supper & then back out until you got dragged in to go to bed...there were never enough hours in the day.

    One of my friends was an OR nurse. There was a surgeon who very often screwed up. He had a wonderful bedside manner & would tell his patients that they almost died but he saved them. Of course, he never told them that he almost killed them first LOL

    Hi Loretta...I am fine, getting ready to watch TV..

    Hi Tim....how are you.

    Terry - Now I know what you are talking about when you talk about your son....my son was home for the weekend and him and a friend took the bus back to school this morning....so I figured he had classes most of the day...so around 5:00 I tried to call him, no answer, texted him, no answer, emailed him, no anwer, now I am getting crazy......Now I am thinking, Holy Shit did he ever make it back to school today.....He finally called about 8:00 pm and said he has classes all day on Mondays...this kid is going to kill me.....and the best part is as I am leaving a message for him I am trying not to curse or yell like a lunatic because it is always in the back of my mind that in case God forbid something does happen, my voicemail message will be all over the news.......Crazy Bitch Mom from NJ cursing her poor son out because he did not call her back......lol lol Well Thank God he is back at school and safe and sound......
